Hey Jake, good article. Thanks for the props to the SECORE project. At month three, I still have over 1000 colonies of palmata going. Most others in the project are having similar success, so quite a few colonies surviving right now.
In your article you state that both Cynarina and Scolymia are brooding corals. Do you have personal experience or a reference for that? The only Scolymia that I know of that is a brooder is Scolymia wellsii from the Caribbean and I haven't heard of any Cynarina being brooders. I'm trying to compile as much info as I can on brooders, and haven't run across these before. Would be nice if they were as they would be a great genus to work with.
